Dalwhinnie 15yo is a good introduction to the delights of single malt whisky – elegant, smooth and medium-bodied, with a light, fruity palate and a whiff of heather on the finish. Part of Diageo’s Classic Malt range.
Dalwhinnie 15 Year Old Whisky Tasting Notes
Nose: A big, crisp, dry and very aromatic nose… apples, vanilla, and citrus.
Palate: Smooth, soft and lasting flavors of heather-honey sweetness, apple peels and vanilla followed by deeper citrus-fruit flavors and hints of malted bread.
Finish: Long, lingering, surprisingly intense finish that starts sweetly, then gives way to vanilla, apples, walnuts, smoke and malt.
